    Picketers walk against Wal Mart WJRT, MI
    Gary Isham, with Carpenters Local 706, says Wal-Mart can hire anyone it pleases, but people don't have to shop there. 'Well, they certainly do have that right but if they want us to spend our hard-earned dollars...in their stores, they have to be more sensitive to the folks that live here in this community.

    I know that Wal Mart has this image campaign that they're going on with now. The problem isn't their image, it's their policies,' said Ben Ranger, with Plumbers Local 370.
